Here's where they have a small problem. Randy - 3 fight deal: Brock, Fedor/Nog, Nog/? (depending on Fedor) Brock - 2 fights left on his mammoth deal that makes him one of the highest paid fighters in the UFC. That's the reason you're getting Brock thrown in with Randy so quickly... time to earn that 250-450k per fight. I'm probably the biggest Lesnar supporter on this board but I still think Randy can beat him at this stage in the game. But WHAT IF Brock actually comes in with a real gameplan that is something a bit more sophisticated then use your strength and lay on him with hammerfists for 3 rounds? I mean, he totally COULD beat Randy... and then that ruins a lot of things. Not necessarily for the UFC because Brock going for the belt will get them a ton of buys, but it certainly ruins the entire Randy/Fedor landscape, that's for sure.

Randy is officially back in the UFC for 3 more fights. Press conference at 3 PM today. http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/09/02/rep...official-today/

MAIN CARD * Champ Urijah Faber vs. Mike Brown (for featherweight title) * Champ Paulo Filho vs. Chael Sonnen (for middleweight title) * Leonard Garcia vs. Jens Pulver * Jake Rosholt vs. Danillo Villefort * Donald Cerrone vs. Rob McCullough PRELIMINARY CARD * David Avellan vs. TBA * Danny Castillo vs. Ed Ratcliff * Johny Hendricks vs. Alex Serdyukov * Yoshiro Maeda vs. Rani Yayha * Steve Steinbeiss vs. Alex Schoenauer * Jose Aldo vs. Jonathan Brookins This card is so fucking dope... I don't even know where to start. Look at those top three bouts... just awesome. If Garcia beats Jens, he fights Urijah and that's probably going to be a great fight. Garcia hung w/ Huerta despite being completely outsized and we all know Jens brings 100% every time...also The Cowboy vs. Razor Rob for a shot at Jamie Varner and the prime-time debut of Jake Rosholt, who is an absolute stud. Maeda vs. Yayha! Fuck yea..if there's any luck that will make the broadcast, but it may not because if at all possible they are also going to want to get Rosholt's teammate and also highly touted Johnny Hendricks on the air. Those are two star-quality guys they have there. Those of you with HDNet might remember the two of them for being guests on Inside MMA within a few weeks of each other and also for the card they co-headlined that they broadcast. This is next week! Fuck yes!

Countdown this Wednesday at 11 PM.

http://www.tuaw.com/2008/09/01/google-crea...ased-on-webkit/ Possibly as soon as tomorrow. Another one to try out, I guess. I finally gave up on Safari a few months ago and have been running FireFox 3.0, but this might be the winnah. I haven't disliked anything Google has done so far, but it's not hard to imagine this will be the first. Guess we'll find out (as soon as) tomorrow.

Welcome to the land of being a mod without having all the real mod powers. It's a great place to be and I , for one, am thrilled to be here.

Kimbo better win because if he loses to a broken down Ken Shamrock who got embarrassed by Buzz Berry, of all people, then the dream is over.

I have limited Muay Thai experience and I have been meaning to start BJJ for a long time now. Ken Kronenberg, a gracie black-belt, is literally less than 10 minutes away from my house. I need to stop being so lazy.

That was a very well timed strike.

This sounds like an impending disaster.

A good answer is just about everyone. This place hasn't changed, more or less, since 2002.

KJ Noons officially said he won't fight Nick Diaz. Pussy. Wagnney Fabiano is now in the WEC... nice.

Yeah, Curry is like a different person when it comes to BJ/GSP. It's like a viper just coiled to strike.

Well, all former champions are worthy of a shot, provided they aren't injured or over-the-hill. The only thing questionable, really, is the timing. But strike while the iron is hot.

Sylvia as well, but that was ages ago.

Well that's certainly not good news for them.

It's not indicative of the album as a whole.

This new Bloc Party is fantastic. I love it.

I loved it. I was laughing so hard at all the smallest things like when Downey kicked in the door backwards when they invaded the village... so unnecessary and hilarious. "I want to bite its hide... I need to wear it's stomach as a unitard." "Can I tell you that I'm sorry?" Just little shit like that. And Downey Jr. was just fantastic.

In news that came out of nowhere, Bloc Party apparently decided to say, "Hey surprise, our 3rd album is out digitally in 3 days." 8/21. Hopefully it's more Silent Alarm-ish.

Hey, guys, I think he's talking about all of us.

Ed Herman is a white trash scumbag. I love how after TUF he took the time to congratulate his mom and some random dude for "making it official"... she's probably made it "official" with three other guys from the trailer park since then. Matt Hughes and Sherk are guys I also don't like. There are others I'm sure but I can't think of them right now. Oh and no more talk of dead babies.

Starvenger knows it's all love. I was wondering what the hell was in BJ's hand there... that answers that.

Well, it's highly possible that his daughter's first words will be something she's heard her mother say many, many times before, amirite?

The injury is a good point. I mean, without that factor I don't really see how Rashad can hang with Chuck but who knows if he's at 100%. Then again it's always tough when a really established star is fighting someone up and coming. No one gives the up and coming guy a chance, most of the time, but this is how people make their name. I still heavily favor Chuck.
